Facing Opposition in God’s Work — Ezra 4:4–5 — Sept 11, 2025

Opposition will always come when we do God’s work—but His plans will prevail.In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on Ezra 4:4–5:“Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building. They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.” (NIV)God’s people faced opposition throughout history, and so will we. But discouragement and resistance are not the end—when we persevere in faith, God’s purposes always prevail.📖 Scripture: Ezra 4:4–5“They set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building.”💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning:https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe💗 Support this ministry:https://bit.ly/ddmpartners👕 Shop Faith-Based Apparel & Gifts:https://dailydevotionalstore.com/🎙 More from DQ Clarke:http://bit.ly/3HoFlEB
